The World Methodist Council passed a resolution in 2011 calling the people known as Methodist to Fast one meal per week, Pray during that time for world hunger, and Give to those in need. This became a global initiative of the World Fellowship of Methodist and Uniting Church Men and as a result, launched&nbsp;FastPrayGive.org. This small group study is a resource to aid you in joining this grassroots discipleship movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nccumc-hl.mimas.opalsinfo.net\/bin\/index#\/recDetail?rid=3677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You Raise Me Up: Making It Happen for Children of the Ark<\/a> by Catherine Ritch.
